I'm sure some of the people working at Theranos thought there legitimately was a revolutionary blood-test machine. The presence of a person who wants SWE-bench to have honest results and takes it seriously does not mean the results are

Yeah, of course airplane mode makes my phone last longer, but what's the point of a phone in airplane mode? It lasts longer if I turn it off too. At this point I just accept that I have to bring a battery brick with me everywhere, it&#

I use home-manager for my dotfiles, and they manage quite a few things. For example: 1. My editor config (neovim) including downloading and installing all my plugins, including the dependencies of the plugins (including deno, rust-analyzer,

Too high for apple to replace it for a third time, like 95%. Congrats on somehow having a better battery life; all the mini users I know can't manage an 8 hour day with theirs without plugging in somewhere.

My iPhone mini lasts about 6 hours. If I hike in the cold it lasts maybe 2.5 hours tops, and hikes are usually 4-6 hours total, so it's usually dead by the time I'm done, and so I can't tap to ride the train home unless I bri

> Similarly, extra parentheses around if clauses are not allowed. However 'if (x) == (1) {}' is totally fine with the formatter. As is an assignment of '(x) = (y)'. It's actively annoying too because like, extra

html is like 90% boilerplate, and so .html.erb in rails is mostly boilerplate.

Some constructive criticism: 1. For picking the kana answers, using the keyboard key is better than numbers. When you actually type an え, you type 'e', so it's a useful mapping to learn in terms of how IME works. 2. For vocab

journalism and newspapers indeed should not be for-profit, and current for-profit news corporations are doing harm in the pursuit of profit.

Knowledge should be free. Unfortunately, OpenAI and most other AI companies are for-profit, and so they vacuum up the commons, and produce tooling which is for-profit. If you use the commons to create your model, perhaps you should be oblig

Is the data input into ChatGPT not a large enough source of new data to matter? People are constantly inputting novel data, telling ChatGPT about mistakes it made and suggesting approaches to try, and so on. For local tools, like claude cod

This is misplaced in this case. The author mentioned CVE-2021-26708, which is very similar to this bug, and in fact the author both exploited it and authored the upstream fix in the kernel. > and it requires a very different skill set th

I mean, yes, the incentives are in fact such that sitting on a potentially exploitable bug is better for a security researcher than patching it early. Like, if you have a root priv escalation, that can potentially get you a bug bounty from

I'm not complaining about the license, I'm complaining about the library size. Something that is too small to be considered creative should be a documented example you copy and adopt into your app, not a dependency. The only excep

"Copyright GPL" I don't think this meets the bar for copyrightable code. Copyright protects creative expression. Displaying a single dialogue does not take creative expression, and pretty much any developer given the task wou

It's possible to make this detectable, and chromebooks already do. On a chromebook, if you toggle to developer mode you get a nag screen on early-boot telling you it's in developer mode every time, and if you're not in develo

I wouldn't be sold on it because macOS is a terrible server OS. If it can't run linux, it's not going to make a good storage server on the software side of things.

You know, I should have realized this was a troll account with the previous comment. I guess that's on me for being oblivious enough that it took this obvious of a comment for me to be sure you're intentionally trolling. Nice work

The culture around "go generate" is that you check in any files it generates that are needed to build. In fact, for go libraries you effectively have to otherwise `go get` wouldn't work correctly (since there's no way to
